So, morning practices.

I don´t normally have them. But over breaks......my coaches find it convinient to make us swim at 7-9 in the morning. It sounds so bad. I literally despise the idea of it.

The truth??

It´s a TON better than a normal practice time. Which is at 5-7.

WHY?? I don´t know. But getting up early. Spending all my energy. Then coming home and showering. AND THEN starting my day. Something about it is refreshing and energizing. ALSO all of us swimmers get along more often than not in the mornings. For some weird reason.

EXCEPT. For relays. Relays are the only exception to that.

I have seen a swimmer lose a relay. It. Is. Crazy. Long story short, swimmers are some of the most competitive people you will ever meet.
